Where do you want to change the font size ?

The Bookmarks menu on the main menu bar is under control of the Mac OS and you can't affect the font size in this menu via userChrome.css. On the bookmarks toolbar and in the "Library -> Bookmarks" menu and in the Bookmarks Menu toolbar button drop down list and in the sidebar you should be able to increase the font size using code in userChrome.css.

Can you attach a screenshot?

of what do you need a screenshot I cant find a working userChrome.css font size increasing code

more options

I am certain the code in the screenshot changes all UI fonts. You can omit the first line relating to font family.

@TerryN21 (TerryN21) please submit your code as text

Can you clarify if this is about the font-size in a menu opened via the Navigation Toolbar or Bookmarks Toolbar and not the Bookmarks menu on the menu bar because it is not possible to affect the font-size in case of the latter ?

since FF Quantum Bookmarks and URL's are hardly readable on any of my Mac's

As requested, I will attempt to post the code as text. This site doesn't handle that well. You can use pt instead of px. 12pt corresponds to 16px.

* {
  font-size: 17px !important;
}

@TerryN21 (TerryN21) your previous attachment had more code please advise ...

Note that it is better not to use generic code like the '*' selector as that applies to any element and may affect more then you like.

You can set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 (default is -1) on the about:config page. Adjust its value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 to enlarge or 0.9 to reduce) until icons or text looks right. Make sure not to use values too large or too small.

  • modifying layout.css.devPixelsPerPx affects user interface and webpages (global zoom)

Firefox has a Zoom section in Settings to set the default zoom level for webpages.

  • Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Zoom

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".

thanks TerryN21 (TerryN21) the URL fonts are more crisp now is there a way to give the bookmarks more depth?

I used the first code from your link below: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3078485

If by depth you mean size, that's my limit. I am trying something else myself.
